Baby Meyers is the size of an apple!

 

  Cravings are back!

I am actually really excited and happy to have cravings again because it means my hyperemesis is going away! This week I crave(d) soft nugget ice (like at sonic), watermelon, oranges, bananas, pears, apples, applesauce, grapes and cantaloupe. I have been craving vitamin C BIG time. The more I eat of it, the better I feel. With more energy, color to my face, hydration, strong veins for blood tests, and less vomiting the more fruit I eat! It's like my candy. That's another thing. I don't like much candy or sweet things anymore. I still love skittles, sour patch, and banana laffy taffy. But other than that I can't handle candies, cookies or ice creams anymore. Yesterday my sister and I went to IHOP and I had the biggest meal I've had in 2 months. I had a breakfast sampler with Turkey Bacon (YUM), eggs over easy, hash browns, ham, and two sausage links. It came with pancakes as well but I didn't eat those or the sausages. I felt so good after popping the yolk of the egg onto the hashbrowns and eating the whites of the eggs with ham. It was delicious and I kept it ALL down. I am so happy to eat again.
 I have an appointment with a nutritionist next Thursday to help me and coach me back into eating and helping me to eat what I need to during the rest of my pregnancy.

 Hyperemesis nonesense

Although I am doing much much better, I am not quite out of the woods yet. I still depend on nausea meds to get me through the day. I've been able to wean off of one of them with no problem, but I still need the other two in order to keep hydrated and healthy and functional. Today I'm having a rough sick day, but I am thinking and hoping it's just a little bump in the road and not a relapse into my first trimester misery.

Ultrasound pics from 13 weeks!!

I posted them on facebook yesterday and so did my husband, but I am very late to show off the newest pictures we have of baby Meyers. These were done at 13 weeks, when we opted for genetic testing. They did a blood draw and a big long ultrasound. We got a whole big long thing of pictures of hands, legs, full body, etc. Here are 3 of them:
